What do you mean "works lots better"? My system works fine with a dial-up modem, I just had to make sure not to get one of those winmodems to work with it. I use a US Robotics "Performance Pro" modem, it was autodetected by SuSE (which has special braille-screen features on install from what I understand) and worked fine after a "/dev/MAKEDEV ttyS4" for Debian 3.0 (The one thing that's tricky about it is that it wants COM5:) Almost any standard external modem will work as well. (And not require any ttyS4 port shenanighans.) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
